Looks like the reports and retailer listings were accurate: LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition exists and it's coming to stores on September 8 for the same ol' $59.99 you can currently find the non-GOTY variant at. So what does your ... well, just your waiting get you above and beyond the existing release? Media Molecule has hand-picked 18 "extraordinary" level creators to each build a level "specifically for the GOTY edition." Not enough? Perhaps seven "packs" from the PlayStation Store – including the Metal Gear Solid Level Pack and Costumes Pack – would be enough to entice you? Says here that's "nearly a $30 value."
Still not biting, eh? Lastly, a "limited supply" of LBP: GOTY discs will include a voucher granting you access to the ModNation Racers online beta, the next game in Sony's "Play, Create, Share" series. If you're still not convinced, we don't think the trailer after the break is going to change your mind, but we still think you should watch it. Sackboy ... he's just so cute.

That would mean it had to be goty to begin with, which it wasn't, since only good games can get that.

Don't be mad at LBP just because it's won the most awards this gen.

It won very few goty awards as much as I can remember. It won a bunch of meaningless developer awards just cause it was innovative, not cause it was fun. That's the problem with these casual games.

I hope this means that the regular copies will start hitting the bargain bin.

I bought LBP day one with no regrets, but this doesn't really seem like enough value to still warrant the $60 -- at least this late in the game. Especially considering the trend of steep game value decline over a short period of time. I hope it works out for MM, though I suspect a Player's Choice sticker and price drop might be more successful.

I wish they would come up with a better name for a game rerelease that includes a collection of DLC on the disc than "Game of the Year" edition.

Does the name change the game?
No, so shut up and enjoy it.

Damn, are those levels exclusive to this edition? I might have to re-buy this game.

No, they aren't exclusive.
(incoming blah)They're levels from the online community, with interviews with the creators. (I expect "so, what tips do you have for aspiring creators?")

How are original owners going to get these 18 new levels? If they expect us to re-buy the game, they can kiss my ass.

So with the 18 new levels does that mean the game is actually complete now?

I should of waited. Part of me is tempted to sell the original LBP and buy this to get into the ModRacers beta. CURSE YOU CRUEL FATE!

One of the 18 level creators (the guy who made the excellent The Azure Palace level), seems to think that everyone with the standard edition of the game will be able to download the 18 new levels also.

Could be wrong, though.

i would rather have a greatest hits $ 30 price tag for the game myself !!!
as i don't see the $ 30 in value from character costumes and user-created levels.
greatest hits would sell better than GOTY IMO.
